The Miami-based corporation agreed to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94% ownership in the club (Sky Sports, September 15), however the publication stated online that uncertainties persist over whether the sale will go ahead.
Everton will also face an independent commission in October over alleged Financial Fair Play violations, according to the Mirror, and the club is reliant on loans from 777 and MSP Sports Capital to cover monthly costs, with Moshiri no longer willing to put money in due to a “worrying financial situation.
According to the Mirror, if the takeover is blocked, players such as Jordan Pickford, Amadou Onana, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin might be available for transfer in the January window.
According to The Mirror, it would be a “nightmare scenario” for manager Sean Dyche, who is already working with a tight transfer budget.
You have to feel sorry for Everton fans right now.
Concerning
On the one hand, there is little doubt that the boardroom is in serious need of change, with Moshiri no longer in a position to keep the club going.
On the other, there are serious concerns over the viability of 777 Partners, and there is no guarantee that they even receive the go-ahead to complete their takeover.
So there is almost an inevitability about the fact star players will have to depart Goodison Park if fresh investment does not arrive in order to keep cash coming into the club.
But it would be a hugely difficult challenge for Dyche if that were to happen, with the Toffees boss already dealing with limited numbers in his squad. If one of their top players were to depart then it would make life extremely difficult amid what is likely to be another battle against relegation.
